Creating your Egg Carton Fairies is simple and fun. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Egg Carton: Cut the egg carton into individual cups. Each cup will serve as the body of a fairy.
2. Paint the Base: Use acrylic paints or markers to color the egg carton cups. Let your imagination run wild with colors and designs.
3. Add Eyes: Glue googly eyes onto the front of each painted cup to give your fairy a face.
4. Create Hair: Use yarn or pipe cleaners to create hair. Simply glue it on top of the egg cup.
5. Make a Dress: Cut out fabric or paper for the fairy’s dress. You can use ribbons, lace, or even leaves. Glue the dress around the body.
6. Add Wings: Cut out shapes from a piece of cardboard or use materials like paper or fabric to create wings. Attach them to the back of the fairy using glue.
